I made dish appetizer for my school staff’s end of the year party. I was in the grocery store when I saw some split chicken breasts on amazing sale, knew that one of my teachers loved chicken dips, and knew I had to make a new dip then. I love that with this recipe, you can add a few things to change things up: more heat, more cheese, more ranch, less chicken, or more pico!
As you can see, Nick definitely appreciated the thought behind the dip for him!
Happy Summer!
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded (see note below)

Instructions
(note: I started with my chicken in the crock pot covered with a jar of salsa. Cooked it overnight and shredded it the next day (or about 8 hours on low.)
In a crock pot, combine cooked chicken, 2 cups shredded cheese, cream cheese, ranch, and 2 cups salsa.
